Energie-Cités is launching a call to local authorities

This March, Energie-Cités warmly welcomed the decisions of the European Council.Today, Energie-Cités calls the local authorities to commit themselves to reach the EU energy and climate objectives.

During the last European Council, the ministers committed to:

cut the Greenhouse Gas emissions by 20%,

reduce our energy consumption by 20%,

increase the part of renewable energy by 20% by 2020.

To reach these objectifs, Energie-Cités is launching a call to local authorities to create a voluntary movement with all local stakeholders within their territories to imagine their energy future in this new context.

This call is also addressed to the European Union Presidency, member States and european Institutions to take into account the strong involvement of local and regional authorities and all actors of society.
